In Response to Rondo useless, Ray sixth man : Did Tommy Heinsohn actually say "someday somebody will gobble him and he won't be a good scorer" when referring to Evan Turner? I thought Rondo was some great defender - maybe Rondo was guarding Holiday, you know, the guy that was just making uncontested 3s like it was a layup drill or toasting Rondo on the baseline and making a pull up 12 foot jumper, etc.Posted by TheDUDDER

making 3s like a layup drill?? he made 2 3s and scored 10 pts...your hate for RR is old and tiresome.

I am not Fierce, who I think has a very good basketball mind, The team we have now needs an infusion of difference, and Gasol is the one that could give it because of his many talents. Rondo is not worth Gasol but LA is looking so hard for a point, and Rondo would be fine for them because Koby could take care of him. I wish we could win like we are but we can not. Gasol of Rondo

Last night's game illustrates a few things: When RA gets only 5 shots, the ball wasn't moving and the Celtics can't win; when the opponent wins the assist total (by 50%!) the Celtics can't win; and when it's clearly and absolutely obvious that a truly effective center is sorely needed, the Celtics can't win. If they can move the ball and keep the middle safe from intruders, ergo, offensive rebounds (again, the Celtics total was doubled by the Sixers), then the team can win. They have guards and wings, but they are in desparate need of a front-line center (Please, no Perkins crybabies - he never was and never will be a top center). I still maintain that MarShon Brooks should have been a keeper - instant offense is a valuable commodity. Johnson plays hard and with athletism, but Brooks is a dangerous offensive threat that provides more dimension.

This is really hilarious! Most of us here can put 2 and 2 together, that's means you're a chicken in a pot. Seems to me this kid has pulled more tail than a slow kid at a petting zoo. Keep it coming man!

Unless Fierce is like Sybil these Romney posts don't match at all in style or execution. I would bet it is a troll or someone on the BB who dislikes Fierce so much he is trying to make him look bad.

Whoever it is, it speaks to the nonsense that goes on around here and how simplistic and silly it all is. You don't have to be a detective to figure out the garbage that goes on here, it is almost transparent.

I remember us marching off to the bars in the 70's... particularly after Bruins "High Lights"...chest out, plenty of 'tude. Man, the joints used to actually shake from the fights... and we were just doing each other, when you think about it.

Older, wiser...

Romney can`t win either.Maybe you should be on one of the Herald`s political threads praising Hurried Limpthing.

i agree that a major trade is desireable, but this thread is insipid and pointless.Posted by DeweyCBoston

You sound like a soccer player, Ray off the bench with the green light could be huge. Gasol could change this team form pretender to contender. Look at the games we played without Rondo, if you watch the games. I forgot more about basketballl than you know, but I understand that you think Rondo will lead us to a championship, he will not. The last one we won he was carried by a younger big three. The guy does not have the equipment to be great, just very good. If you think this offten injured bunch will make it this year, you need to pray we have no significant injuries and we learn to rebound and Rondo and Ray start to play defense and the bench some how starts to score points. I like out team but only a blind person thinks this bunch gan take the Bulls or Heat. Rudness is cheap.

In Response to Re: Rondo useless, Ray sixth man : He said it quite accurately.What are you , fierce`s mom? Let him out of the basement once in a while.Maybe he won`t be constantly obssessing.Posted by jrleftfoot

As did I. At least Fierce is consumed about the Celtics. You and others are consumed about Fierce. I gave up arguing w/ Pierce in 09 when ironically he defended Rondo's inability to shoot as a physical problem whereas I argued that it was stubborness and arrogance. We agreed to disagree. Pierce is arriving late to the party but realizes that Rondo is sorely lacking in clothes. Regardless of its origins the fact remains that shooting hasn't improved substantially since 08 and his defense is not fundamentally sound. Now it sounds like Fierce is flipflopping about trading Rondo because of all the heat from the celtic taliban. Trade him for a decent big. And place Fierce on ignore unless he's your reason for being. Like I wrote, grow a pair. This is a man's game. No enuchs' allowed.

The only trade I see would be a cap dump for Jon or Dooling picking up player with 2-3 years matching cap $$. Rondo is a top tier PG with cap friendly 4 yr deal. I don't think we could get enough in return,just doesn't make sense.

Now it sounds like Fierce is flipflopping about trading Rondo because of all the heat from the celtic taliban. He is a flipflopper and you just confirmed it. That's why the Rondo Haters call him a weanie ... I call him what he is ... a Fraud. As for growing a pair ... Why is it your job to defend him? You act like a dog in heat defending his turf. Put a chastity belt on it ... Jeesh! http://www.funnyfidos.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/funny-dog-cartoon-crack.jpgPosted by Mployee8

You are so obsessed Fierce. What's worse is you're attacking everyone that interacts with Fierce. You are so pathetic.

I'm not defending him, I'm opposing the endless addition to every single thread of what Fierce said; what Fierce thinks ect...Fierce pretty much shoots down everybody's trade ideas or observations as inferior to his own but I don't take it personal. Let's agree to call this forum" Fierce Forum" instead of Celtic because y'all invoke his name like he's some omnipresent being that must be invoked at every turn. One last time: Grow a pair so that you might one day have the strength to ignore someone that obviously is in your head 24/7. Did he once eviserate one of your opinions(or worse yet ignore them) to the point that you must get back at him in every single thread? Tell me if you have that strength...Otherwise go back to your obsession(half of celtic nation awaits the ongoing saga)
